“Never forget what you are the rest of the world will not. Wear it like armour and it can never be used to hurt you.”- George R.R.

When an Oruhnian spends their life by a weapon, the imbuing is literal.This week, we investigate what the implications of a weapon imbued becomes. How does it change the character of the weapon? Of the imbuer? Is the bond forced? Is it like marriage, or a friend you've always known? Or something else? Curious about something you heard in this episode?

"...All things continue as they were from the beginning of creation. For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished..."-Simon Peter, 2 Peter 3:4-5Oruhne changes.
